PHOENIX, ARIZONA PLASTIC SURGEON USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO CONNECT WITH PATIENTS

Facebook and other social networking sites have redefined the ways in which people interact with each other. A Phoenix plastic surgery practice has begun to use Facebook to connect with patients and to help establish a comprehensive online presence.

Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) January 27, 2010 -- For more than 20 years, Dr. Steven Turkeltaub has performed state-of-the-art procedures at his practice, the Arizona Center for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Dr. Turkeltaub states that his commitment to adopting new technologies extends to his embrace of social media to reach out to patients - and people who have undergone or are considering plastic surgery options such as liposuction in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and the surrounding region can now take advantage of that. By establishing a Facebook page, Dr. Turkeltaub seeks to provide an engaging and informative look at all that his practice has to offer.

With millions of Americans already on Facebook and the average user spending more than 55 minutes on the site each day, Dr. Turkeltaub\'s goal is to provide a way for patients to connect with his practice using a platform that they are familiar with and enjoy. Through regular status updates and links, Facebook users can stay abreast of practice news and announcements as well as recent developments in the field of plastic surgery.

Visitors to Dr. Turkeltaub’s Facebook page will find testimonial videos of some of his Phoenix and Scottsdale breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and facelift patients. A poignant video is included of a breast cancer survivor who describes how Dr. Turkletaub helped her to regain her confidence and self-esteem through breast reconstruction. With these videos, those who are considering treatment at the Arizona Center for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery can watch previous patients describe their experiences in their own words.

Dr. Turkeltaub’s Facebook profile serves as a complement to his cutting-edge website. For patients considering breast augmentation in Phoenix, many of Dr. Turkeltaub’s Facebook posts link to valuable resources on the site, including many before-and-after photos. Additionally, links are included to a variety of blog topics, including \'What Areas of the Face Are Most Commonly Treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic\' and \'The Diagnosis and Treatment of Ruptured Saline Breast Implants.\' Dr. Turkeltaub says these blog entries are frequent, topical, and serve to supplement the extensive information for each one of his procedures that can already be found on his main website.

Dr. Turkeltaub says he is encouraging his former, current, and prospective patients to become fans of his practice on Facebook so that they can take advantage of the new and instantaneous means of obtaining the information that they need about plastic surgery. Patients can join by visiting the Facebook page of Arizona Plastic Surgery and Dr Steven Turkeltaub.
